I honestly don’t know how folks in Maine are supposed to afford to heat their homes this winter. Donald Trump and Susan Collins owe them an answer. Their war in Iran is making life even more expensive for people already struggling to get by.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

A pediatric doctor in St. Pete told me today what Medicaid cuts actually mean for children’s hospitals. This isn’t numbers on a spreadsheet. It means programs get cut and kids lose access to care. That’s the part people need to understand. #Angie4FL #Medicaid #Healthcare

More than 70,000 people are currently in more than 200 concentration camps in the United States.
What? You say: We don't have concentration camps in the US.
Ah, but we do. Historians define concentration camps as sites of mass civilian detention without trial, based on group identity. Our "detention" centers ARE concentration camps.
We need to shut them down.

“I met with this [Haitian] guy who has a 1-year-old, and he was apprehended after ICE spotted him at a gas station in Springfield, around late August,” Kersh told me. “I was asking him questions at Butler County [jail], and he talked about how he came here: He got an appointment through a church or something like that [when President Joe Biden was in office]. He met with Border Patrol, and they sat him down and shook his hand. And then his voice broke. Through tears, he said: ‘They shook my hand and they said, ‘Welcome to the United States,’ and yesterday they arrested me.’ He’s just crying. He had to stop for a good solid minute to catch himself. To me, that really encapsulated the confusion and fear for so many people now. They were welcomed into this country and now the same agency is arresting them and throwing them in jail.”
